Happy 65th Carl Palmer. Hugely influential drummer who continues to ply his trade with gusto. Did anyone look so permanently excited tearing into a drum solo over so many years.
His snare technique remains formidable. I miss his big kit playing which suits his style best I think.
Wished he'd composed more, think Bullfrog, Food for your Soul, Tank and the ferocious Pancha Suite. I'd have loved more edgy fusion.
But ELP and Asia , 2 mega sellers, not many can state that. And less and less drummers are as famous these days.
